My phone was blowing up all day because people who installed a competitors product had an outage. That's the strange thing about Windows, if we let a 3rd party do something, it's our fault and if we don't let them do something, we are being anticompetitive. No winning

Absolutely insane the number of people calling this a "Microsoft outage". Yes, I know Windows isn't perfect (I worked on the system responsible for analyzing the crashes, after all), but short of getting rid of kernel drivers, it doesn't seem like much blame is on Windows.

An important update… I could just type the damned thing out, but the internet gals said “bad news does better if it’s in an image”. If your keycard isn’t working, that’s how you know you’re affected.

Visitors to Galleon's Grave Outpost may spot that the Merchant Alliance representative Marley has undergone a reinvention of sorts, finally presenting in a way that feels true to himself.

*sign tapping intensifies* also feel free to AMA about this while we wait in queue
Everyone thinks adding more servers is a magic fix-it button when really, it's far more complex. "Every live game falls over day one," she said. "The internet screams, 'Add more servers,' and the number of servers is quite literally never the problem. "People think of it like: a server can handle X players, Y people want to play, so Y / X = number of servers = problem solved, right? Simply: no. There are at least four more layers of complexity to a live game, and each one amplifies any of the previous layers' problems." Pollock broke down the various layers for me, which include issues like the amount of information each server can hold for the entire playerbase, communication issues between servers, sharding, the actual ability to create more servers, and, aggravatingly, problems created by players themselves

@CounterStrike31 Aug 2023
Today we are introducing CS Rating—a precise display of your skill in Counter-Strike 2. With regional and World Leaderboards you'll know exactly how you stack up. Competitive mode in CS2 now features per-map Skill Groups, so players can master their favorite maps while learning others. And in Counter-Strike 2, match length is changing to 12 round halves, with overtime, to determine a winner. And beginning today, we are starting the process of inviting as many eligible players as possible to the Limited Test. To be eligible, players must have CS:GO Prime Status, an active Competitive Skill Group, and play the majority of their official matchmaking games in one of the regions where the Limited Test is available. Start earning your CS Rating in Premier Mode, now available in-game alongside the overhauled de_inferno. If you haven't played Counter-Strike 2 yet, now's your time.
